Review on mechanical properties of natural fiber composites

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214785317325440

The present experimental study aims at learning the mechanical behavior of natural fiber composites. Natural fibers have an attracting the interest to engineers, researchers, professionals and scientists all over the world as an alternative reinforcement, because of its superior properties such as high specific strength, low weight, low cost, fairly good mechanical properties, non-abrasive, eco-friendly and bio-degradable characteristics. A brief review has been carried out to make use of natural fibers (such as abaca, jute, sisal, banana, cotton, coir, hemp, etc) abundantly available in India. This paper presents a review on the mechanical properties of Abaca, Jute, Sisal.
